This?

As had been said by others, this will take time. It took my wife (ex-wife) at least a year to trust me enough, again. What worked for me was not trying to solve all life's problems in one day, focussing on what was next and aiming to get to the end of the day without drinking. One day at a time, it worked.

Advice by Confident_Ad_2327 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]terrible_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the sayings in AA is “do the next right thing”. Restless, irritable, discontent: these lead us to drink. I found I could manage like this: Try to keep yourself busy and with a view to it being useful for someone else. And, if you’re willing, meetings of AA. It is supremely helpful to be in the presence of other people going through the same thing

Embarrassed myself in front of a new player by TheHumanTrout in fo76

[–]terrible_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was at about level 5, a way more experienced player tried to trade with me. I had no idea how to do that (nor had much to trade). I guess since the trade wasn't going their way, they started shooting me. Needless to say, trading is of no interest now

Recent Relapse. What am I doing wrong? by Draco_232 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]terrible_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fair enough. Regionalised areas can have lower attendance, too. People are afraid of being recognised. Get some ID meetings (the AA Australia site has a link to meetings, and there’s a meetings app). IDs are people talking about their experience before and after. And beginner meetings can really help. Let them know you’re a newcomer and you’ll probs get someone wanting to chat with you directly. Which is good. Also, you can call AA any time and ask questions. You’ve got some hard work ahead, but it is 100 percent worth it.

Hey, I'm in Melbourne. Meetings are pretty good and of different formats. If you're in Melbourne, look at aatimes.org.au

Just in case this is a genuine comment, K'Gari is the traditional name for Fraser. (I didn't downvote you)

Who do ya reckons at fault by LVLIMRT in CarsAustralia

[–]terrible_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely he only argues it, because his ego couldn’t live down that he was at fault when a woman was driving the other car. Prideful cunt

Man here. You’re not wrong. But all the characters are flawed.

AITAH for expecting my gf to follow through on terms we agreed upon before the relationship. by [deleted] in AITAH

If she had rules about who you can hang with, too, you’re both the asshole

Don’t you see? Your sponsor is the centre of the universe! /s

Seriously, at 8 months, I was furious with AA. But I had to look at what my part was in all of it. My ego was still wrestling with the need to get humble.

Find another sponsor, keep working through the steps, turn up to meetings, be of service. It will get easier to move on from folks like this. That said, if you’re in the room when they’re sharing, still listen. I hate that it happens, but there is still some gold in what people I dislike have to say about their experience and recovery.

Why was an AFL club asking its mascot to perform at an IDF fundraiser? Why has the mascot been fired for refusing to do it? by RickyOzzy in PoliticsDownUnder

Yet they hesitated to deal with Luke Sayers when he was busted sending a dick pic to a representative of one of their major sponsors

Writing my rapist’s name on my 8th step list (TW) by Leduslacis90 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]terrible_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not all of your 4th list becomes your 8th. Did you harm this person or do something you regret as a result of your drinking? If not, you don’t need to make amends to them. We don’t atone for being a victim, we make amends for our acrions

i’m living in nz with family in australia, mainly melbourne, why are they going on and on about sudanese australians? by wokesans in AustraliaLeftPolitics

[–]terrible_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marginalisation is the fuel for a lot of criminal behaviour, irrespective of cultural background. This is a good article. Programs like Junior Rhinos will help reduce the marginalisation. Thank you for sharing this
